Manuals

The ProMariner ProNautic 1250P is a digital battery charger rated 50A at 12 VDC. It runs on 100 to 240 VAC input and offers twelve microprocessor controlled charge profiles with 4-stage charging. Output power is distributed automatically according to what each battery needs, and a remote temperature probe is included for temperature compensation. It is ignition protected and current limiting, and it de-sulfates batteries after 21 days in maintain mode.

Our take

The 1250P splits its 50A output automatically according to what each battery needs, so a boat with more than one bank can be served from a single charger. The included remote temperature probe lets it compensate for battery temperature, and it is ignition protected.

From our buying guide

NMMA says charging sources must meet the charging profile the battery maker recommends. A charger's presets are its own maker's, not the battery's, so set it from the battery maker's figures.

Check before you buy:

  • It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
  • Its output suits your bank. ProMariner recommends about 10 percent of the batteries' total amp-hour capacity, with one charger output for each battery.
  • It suits how you'll use it, since ProMariner says its waterproof chargers are for batteries not in use while charging.
